"Smith and Johnston bring together essays that assess the implications of globalization of political mobilization and explore
the way that social movement actors are able to affect change in global political processes. Most of the material focuses
on how global forces impact particular organizations or campaigns, but two chapters explore the building of transnational
networks by environmental and other groups. Specific topics include Irish transnational social movements, the shaping of protected
area systems in less developed countries, the anti-dam movement in Brazil, and the U.S.-Central American peace movement."--BookNews

"Frames of Protest brings together important empirical research and theoretical essays by leading sociologists, political
scientists, and media specialists that focus on social movement frames and framing practices. Frames are new ways of understanding
political and social relations that emphasize injustice and the need for change. As such, they are crucial for the development
of social movements and protest. Frames of Protest is the only book to focus exclusively on this major research perspective
in social movement and protest studies."--Jacket

"The two current trends of democratization and deepening economic liberalization have made Latin American countries a ground
for massive defensive mobilization campaigns and have created new sites of popular struggle. In this edited volume on Latin
American social movements, original chapters are combined with peer-reviewed articles from the well-regarded journal Mobilization.
Four sections represent major themes in Latin American social movement research. An introductory section is followed by one
discussing large-scale collective action by civil society against economic liberalization policies. The third section focuses
on democratic transition in the context of neoliberalism. The fourth section examines two important cases of women's empowerment
through protest mobilization, while the final section includes case studies on the strategic mobilization of Latin American
movements. The volume includes original chapters on the Madres de Plaza de Mayo movement in Argentina and the Zapatista movement
in Chiapas, Mexico. Also included in its coverage of the region's major movements are los piqueteros and antisweatshop labor
organizing. This is the first study to focus closely on the related issues of neoliberal globalization, democratization, and
the workings of transnational advocacy networks in Latin America."--Publisher's website

Social movements play a central role in the scope and direction of social change. They were instrumental in the creation of
the modern state and, today, are major forces in politics and culture. Environmentalism, gay rights, alterglobalization, and
Islamic fundamentalism are all movements with far-reaching impacts on contemporary society. What is a Social Movement? traces
how the study of movements such as these - of their structures, their ideas, and their repertoires of protest - have grown
in recent years to become a major focus in the social sciences. It deftly navigates the organizational, ideational, and cultural
complexity of political and social movements, and offers a succinct but comprehensive overview of the hows, whys, and wheretofores
of studying them. The book analyzes how politics and culture frequently intersect as people participate in movements that
call for change and pursue group interests. By focusing on movement organizations and networks, on what they do, and how they
articulate their ideas of justice and collective interests, What is a Social Movement? lays the essential groundwork for understanding
this significant and exciting field of research, where it came from, and where it is headed
